Rebuild woes

Hello,
I have a six cylinder non turbo diesel with hydraulic valve lifters
I had a cam belt failure and replaced valves etc.
I have rebuilt the engine.
Set the engine to TDC using the small line with an O on it on the flywheel against the pointer.
I took off the injector pump drive sprocket on the camshaft and lined up the groove with the head ensuring the lobes on No1 cylinder where pointing obliquely upwards.
I have lined up the marks on the injector pump with the grooves in the injector drive pulley.
Bled all the injector lines.
The darling thing still won’t start.
Tried easy start down the inlet chamber and got a big whoosh and flames but no combustion.
Am I missing something?
My Haynes is for a petrol of course.
I have used a Volvo manual but it seems to be a different fuel pump to mine.
Any help would be great.
Thank you
Michael

When you switch on the ignition make sure solenoid wire to the injector pump becomes live. Make sure solenoid is working, should click when ignition turned on and off.

Definetely download the manual, the camshaft timing is set with a bar through a slot in the camshaft so its possible you might have this slightly off which would explain why it won't run on easy start.

Hello,
Thank you for all the help. I have checked out the above.
I decided to ask advice in the pub which was really helpful. Like ‘I’ll tell you if you buy me a pint’ or ‘why don’t fish drown’? Anyway someone asked how I had flames coming out of the inlet tube on a diesel when I squirted in easy start.
When I rebuilt the hydraulic tappets I filled them with oil. I wonder if they might be holding the valves open slightly?
Also it spins over really easily. I reckon cam and buckets out next. Oh the joy.

Recheck your timing.

definitely sounds like timing out even the dog would agree! I will search the web and see where the marks should be. I am pretty sure same as 5 cyl diesel. Recently done a cambelt and water pump on the 6 cyl and parts were the same as the 5 cyl.

The back belt cover has a mark on it for the rear camshaft sprocket. Sounds more complicated than it is. Goodluck.

Remove the sprocket from the pump to see if key is ok? This is tapered and keyed.

If it's a six cylinder diesel the manual states that the Cam timing is set using a setting plate on the rear of the camshaft with the injection pump pulley removed.  The front pulley is only secured once the correct position is achieved.  Is this how you have checked the Camshaft timing?
